RBC Dominion Securities is trying to help Wakamow Valley replace the playground structure at the Kinsmen Wellesley Pavilion, by donating $2000 towards their fundraising.
The structure was burned beyond repair in early June and Wakamow estimates the replacement cost between $50,000 and $75,000.
Wakamow CEO Margaret Moran says some have asked her why the damage wasn't covered by insurance.
"All our structures are insured for liability concerns but it wasn't insured because it was really worthless." explained Moran who noted that the old structure wasn't CSA safety approved. "It had depreciated to the point that it was virtually worth nothing... that's why it wasn't insured for replacement, because we couldn't replace what we had."
An additional $2000 was raised for the structure at last week's Wakamow Kids Day.
